   KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A convicted murderer who escaped from a   
   hospital during a checkup has been captured in Kannapolis after an overnight   
   raid on a hotel that ended a three-day manhunt for the fugitive who had been   
   on the lam.   
      
   Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, the FBI, and Kannapolis Police conducted the   
   operation around 2 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 16, at the Microtel Inn & Suites on   
   Cloverleaf Parkway, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, whose   
   jurisdiction is part of    
   the area where the man, Ramone Alston, 31, escaped.   
      
   New video obtained by Queen City News shows the moment Alston was taken into   
   custody.   
      
   Alston was serving a life sentence for the 2015 Christmas Day murder of a   
   one-year-old child in Chapel Hill and is now facing additional charges for   
   escaping.   
      
   The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said a female acquaintance of Alston’s,   
   Jacobia Crisp, was also arrested in Alamance County and faces charges that   
   include aiding and abetting a fugitive.   
      
   Hundreds of officers and numerous agencies assisted in the three-day statewide   
   manhunt.   
      
   NC Governor Roy Cooper had previously announced a $50,000 reward for   
   Alston’s capture.   
      
   The U.S. Marshals Office, FBI Charlotte, and officials from the Department of   
   Corrections held a news conference ON Friday afternoon where they praised the   
   swift, joint, around-the-clock effort by law enforcement agents to capture   
   Alston.   
      
   Corrections officials said that Alston was successfully able to remove leg   
   restraints and are investigating exactly how he was able to do that. Some   
   corrections officials have been reassigned, not suspended, while the   
   investigation takes place, officials    
   confirmed.   
      
   Officials said they are continuing to investigate the relationship between   
   Crisp and Alston.
